[quote=Anonymous]Married into a big and intensely Irish family. Our kids have Irish names, heck, even some of our pets have/had Gaelic names. If you haven’t seen Song of the Sea, an arrestingly beautiful animated film, highly recommend it. The half human - half selkie little sister is named Saoirse (in the movie pronounced “seer-sha” v. S.Ronan’s “sir-sha, like inertia.”) I don’t doubt you’ve considered the Irish names other posters have suggested and you keep circling back to Saoirse. Yes, you’ll have to spell it multiple times, like at doctors offices, etc., but you’ll often be met with a “that’s beautiful,” response. We have kids who are the only ones in their entire school(s) with their unique name. It’s rare but nice to meet parents/kids who share their name, sometimes in families with rich, mixed-cultural heritage i.e. not exclusively Irish. So from the perspective of an outlier in a large, boisterous Irish clan, I say go with your heart. It’s really a lovely name. [/quote]
